FULL DESCRIPTION
“As far as copping Spielberg's classic goes, nothing compares to CRUEL JAWS . . . the granddaddy of all rip-offs.” -- Jeremy Wheeler, ALLMOVIE
He defied all laws of good taste and international copyright with TERMINATOR 2: SHOCKING DARK and ROBOWAR. He reset the bar for batshit Italo horror with RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR. And in 1995, Bruno Mattei stunned the world with CRUEL JAWS — the ultimate sharksploitation saga.
Filmed in South Florida with a cast of unknowns (including a Hulk Hogan lookalike), this film liberally borrows characters, plot, and footage from a number of other Italian sharksploitation . . . and more famous sources. Experience the epitome of outrageous Italian rip-offs, now remastered and uncut for the very first time! (American Genre Film Archive)
VENUE: Staircase Theatre (27 Dundurn St. N, Hamilton, ON)

SHORT SUMMARY
What do you get when you combine the acting of THE ROOM with the shark carnage of DEEP BLUE SEA? CRUEL JAWS! In this brazen so-bad-it's good ripoff of JAWS, a huge shark terrorizes a beach in Florida, and the locals try everything to destroy it. Released in some regions as JAWS 5, CRUEL JAWS crosses the line from incompetence into comedic genius.
